“Imagine Drowning”
PTSD is unpredictable, you never know how it's going to show up or how it's going to affect you. Your body enters into involuntary trauma responses, and that is the upside down anchor. In my experience, PTSD feels like waves pushing over you and sinking you deeper and deeper into the depths of the ocean. It feels like there's weight attached to your ankles as you are struggling to keep your head above the water. To get triggered can feel like you're drowning, as you fight to not sink any further. To have PTSD IS to imagine sinking, to imagine drowning.
This painting is for anyone who has experienced the overwhelming effects of PTSD and understands the struggle of trying to stay afloat in a world that feels unpredictable and uncontrollable. Imagine Drowning speaks to the intensity of trauma responses and serves as a visual reminder that even in the darkest moments, you're not alone. This piece is ideal for those who want to acknowledge and reflect on the emotional weight of their journey. It can be displayed in a personal space where you can connect with its raw message—whether in your living room, therapy room, or any place where you are on the path of healing. Its powerful visual impact serves as both a reminder of the struggle and a symbol of resilience.
